I run TechRise by P33 and The Josephine Collective, a women-led angel group investing in pre-seed, seed, and Series A businesses in all sectors across the U.S. I personally love investing in marketplaces, networks, consumer, FinTech, Payments, FemmeTech, FamTech, TeenTech, GenZ solutions, and anything that makes life easier, more enjoyable and/or more productive. My work at P33 allows me to help with intros in BioTech, Deep Tech, and Quantum, so please reach out!
I'm not value add in Crypto and I think there are enough Big Data investors for you to go there. But if you need a founder who has been in the trenches, overcome tough times, transacted over $200M on her platforms and raised from name brand investors, I'd love to help you.
